03 · Decide — Boardroom
Early accessThe work is prepared. Now decide.
Agents argue. People decide.
Boardroom is your management committee, convened when you need it. You call a session on a specific question; the Finance, Sales, Operations, People and Strategy perspectives arrive with their evidence from the OnePlan model and with the work AI Workforce has already prepared. People decide, and the session ends in minutes with owners and dates.
You decide with it.
Boardroom is in early access and today we only show it in live demos. Everything on this page uses sample data.

The minutes
Early accessOne session, from the question to the minutes.
This is how a Boardroom session is written down: seven sections, in the order a decision is made.

Sample data
§ 01Question
It all starts with a specific question.
You don't call a session to look at a dashboard. You call it to decide something: a hire, an investment, a corrective action.
Do we delay two hires to July?
- Called by
- CFO
- Reason
- March EBITDA is 7.9% below plan.
Prepared before the session
- Variance Agent · AI WorkforceFlagged the March variance and alerted Finance with the line-by-line detail.
- AuroraProposed the variance narrative, with every figure linked to its source. Finance reviewed and approved it.
§ 02Perspectives
Bring the right perspectives to the table.
Each perspective analyses the model from its own area and argues a position. None speaks without citing where its figure comes from.

OperationsWith reservations
We cover the workload until July, but with no slack: if the export order comes early, June gets tight.

§ 03Evidence
The figures come from the model, not from anyone's memory.
Actuals, forecast, scenarios, cash and capacity. Every piece of evidence carries its source in OnePlan.

§ 04Trade-off
Disagreement stays in plain sight.
Perspectives don't always agree. Boardroom doesn't average opinions: it puts the alternatives side by side, with what each one gains and what it risks.
Alternative B
Delay both hires to July
- Personnel cost this year
- −€24k
- Q2 sales
- Unchanged
- Capacity in June
- Tight if the export order comes early
- Main risk

§ 05Decision

Agents don't vote. They argue, and their argument goes into the minutes. The decision has a name, a date and, when needed, conditions.
Approved
Delay two hires to July.

Agents don't vote. Their argument goes into the minutes; the decision, with a name and a date.
§ 06Actions
Every decision leaves with an owner and a date.
The minutes don't end in “we'll see”. They end in tasks assigned to people and to AI Workforce, and in the date of the next review.

§ 07Follow-up
The decision goes back into the model.
What was approved goes into the plan, AI Workforce watches the condition, and the next session starts where this one ended.
OnePlan
HR takes the approved scenario into the headcount plan, and the cash forecast is recalculated in the same model.
AI Workforce
A delegated task watches May workload and alerts Operations if the condition is met.
Boardroom
On 8 July, the review starts from these minutes: what was decided, what was done and what has changed.
From the work to the decision. From the decision, back into the model.
Decision log
Early accessEvery decision leaves a trail.
Minutes are kept in a log: what was asked, what was decided, who decided it and when it gets reviewed. When someone asks “why did we do this?”, the answer is written down.

The rules of the table
Agents argue. People decide.
- 01Agents don't vote or decide.They argue from their own area. The decision always belongs to a named person.
- 02No figure without a source.Every piece of evidence links to the OnePlan model: actuals, forecast, scenario or plan.
- 03Disagreement isn't averaged out.Objections stay in the minutes, next to the decision that was taken despite them.
- 04Every decision has an owner, a date and a review.If nobody carries it out and there's no date to review it, it isn't a decision.
What it works on
In Boardroom, decisions are made on the OnePlan model and on the work AI Workforce has already prepared. Board packs, scenario comparison and management dashboards are part of the platform and available today.
